The Court passed the order while it was hearing a petition filed by the litigant, C Doss, challenging a previous order of the High Court that had granted probate to the executor of a will left behind by a city resident. In the will executed in 2018, the deceased, one S Ganpathy, had bequeathed his properties worth over ₹1.2 crore to his sister.
Doss, however, told the Court that the deceased had executed a will in 2003 in which he had bequeathed all his assets to the private trust with which Doss is associated.
When the Court directed Doss to produce the original will that he claimed had been executed in 2003, it realised that such document did not exist at all.
“Obviously, the applicant (Doss) has come to the court with a false case. After further enquiry, it has been concluded that the applicant herein had committed an act of forgery by creating a false death certificate, a false legal heirship certificate, a false Will and by creating false signatures to the said Will which had been so created by influencing other people to act as attestors,” the Court said while directing the Joint Registrar to register the police complaint.
